Hi Guys,
It is very annoying that readelf won't display full section names. This
I realise that the patch has already been applied, but it seems to me
that adding a new switch to control the displaying of the full section
name is wrong - I think that this ought to be controlled by the already
existing "--wide" switch. ie if you specify --wide on the command line
you get the full section names and wider-than-80-character output,
whereas if you omit the switch you get possibly truncated section names
and restricted-to-a-maximum-of-80-characters output.
Cheers
Nick
